Weber became one of the most respected directors of his generation, but Philip&rsquo;s talent went unnoticed until he found his calling making horror pictures, a genre in which his gruesome imagination could shine. But everything changes one morning when he calls his old friend Weber to say hello, then kills himself only an hour later.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>From Philip, Weber inherits a box of three videotapes. The first tape begins with Philip, warning Weber of challenges ahead, mysterious things he couldn&rsquo;t handle but believes that Weber can. Then Weber sees something unbelievable: a first-person view of his mother&rsquo;s last minutes alive before a plane crash took her life in 1960. Weber watches her settle into her airplane seat and read a newspaper, then hears the passengers scream as the jet falls from the sky. Before he died, Philip had unlocked a terrible secret. To understand it, Weber must learn the mysteries of death&mdash;no matter the cost.<BR /><BR /> From the author of <I>Bathing the Lion </I>and other acclaimed works, the recipient of honors ranging from the Bram Stoker Award to the World Fantasy Award, this is a novel filled with &ldquo;wickedly imaginative twists and turns&rdquo; (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).<BR /> &#160;</DIV><DIV><I>This ebook contains an all-new introduction by Jonathan Carroll, as well as an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.</I></DIV>
